Power Washing Wicklow. Done Properly.

Not Just Clean. Properly Clean.
John has seen it all across County Wicklow over the last 15 years. Driveways cleaned at the wrong pressure that damaged the surface underneath. Roofs blasted with high pressure when they needed softwashing — accelerating the very problem the homeowner paid to fix. Gutters "cleared" that were never properly flushed, backing up again within weeks.
The difference with Metro Power Washing comes down to one thing: experience that saves you money in the long run.
Before any job starts, John assesses the surface, the level of contamination, and the correct treatment method.
Some surfaces need high-pressure cleaning. Some need low-pressure softwashing with a biocidal solution that kills organic growth at the root and keeps it away for longer. Some need both. You'll always be told honestly which your property needs — and why — before a quote is agreed and work begins.
Metro Power Washing is John's business. His name is on every job.

Common Questions We Get Asked About Our Services
Power washing uses high-pressure water to physically remove dirt and contaminants from hard surfaces like concrete, block paving, and stone. Softwashing uses low-pressure application of a specialist biocidal solution to kill organic growth — algae, moss, lichen, mildew — at the root on surfaces that can't withstand high pressure, such as render, painted walls, pebbledash, and certain roof types. Using the wrong method on the wrong surface causes damage. Knowing which to use — and when to combine both — comes from 15 years of experience.

A typical residential driveway takes between two and four hours depending on size, surface type, and the level of contamination. John will give you a realistic time estimate when quoting so you know what to expect.
Not necessarily. For most exterior cleaning work, access to a water supply is all that's required. John will confirm this when arranging the booking.
It depends on the surface, the treatment used, and the surrounding environment. Driveways in shaded areas with overhanging trees will re-contaminate faster than open driveways. Roofs and walls treated with a post-clean biocidal application will stay cleaner significantly longer than surfaces that are only cleaned without treatment. John will advise on realistic expectations and any post-clean treatments that will extend the results.

Why Wicklow Homeowners Choose Metro Power Washing
John Does the Work Himself When you call Metro Power Washing, you speak to John. When the van pulls up to your property, that's John. There are no subcontractors, no apprentices sent out unsupervised, no surprises about who is actually doing the work. In a trade where this is far less common than it should be, it matters. John's reputation is built job by job across County Wicklow — and he works like it.
15 Years of Real Experience Not 15 years of being in business with someone else on the tools. John has been hands-on in exterior cleaning across Wicklow for 15 years. That's 15 years of knowing what pressure damages block paving and what pressure cleans it. Of knowing when a roof needs softwashing and when a homeowner has been told it needs softwashing just because it's a higher ticket job. That experience is what you're paying for — and it's why the results hold up.
The Right Method for Every Surface Not every surface needs high-pressure cleaning. Not every job needs the same solution. Some treatments that look impressive in the moment — blasting away with maximum pressure — cause damage you won't see immediately but will absolutely see within two years. John assesses before he quotes, and explains what he's going to do and why. That transparency is standard practice at Metro Power Washing, not a selling point.
